no kidding, that is 1 line i don't expect offense from tonight

But could you even think about breaking up that 4th line with the way they are playing?

Blues Power Play....seems like an easy fix.

Real solution to me.... Spread out your primary weapons on the Same PP unit, in their best shooting positions.

Tarasenko, on the hash tags, right wing.
Parayko, left point.

Either side can be made into the strong side, opening up a weapon. Or, the PK unit has to spread out, and then middle lanes and space open up.

Seems like its too obvious.

Ummmm, can you do us a favor and say something like this about Schwartz scoring or maybe Maroon or Steen?

3/5 last night on the PP sure helped

I don't know what that was last night:

Sundqvist looks great. First line was good, but not hitting the goal hurts a ton.

Take Tarasenko off the point.Dunn should be first unit option.

First line was fine.

Schwartz had moments and then gets the puck in the slot and trues to force a pass???? In the slot you shoot or you have a very good backdoor option--dumb.

Maroon just can't keep up. It sucks but he just is too slow. Maybe if the play offs slow down.

Ducks used a lot of obvious interference.

Winnington had two mistakes though I think the first jis skate got hung up and the second he was slashed. Kind of shocked it wasn't fought.

Thomas was good but for a coupke of rookie turnovers.

Steen is useful, had one good offensive play but otherwise he's a fourth liner and quickly not looking like a great pk option any longer. His speed doesn't show up like Maroon's, eventhough Steen isn't much quicker than Maroon.

Too many prime shots going wide or high. Too many passes way off the tape.

This team is really good nonetheless. When they felt like dominating, they imposed their will. When they didn't they backed up and kind of chilled too much.

MDZ blew his coverage. A lot of coverage errors.

Anaheim's second pp unit looked amazing. Blues got lucky a few times.

I would rather see Fabbri or Sanford(though you are right he needed to watch a game, maybe get sent down for a week), to rengage the way he is capable. Sanford and Thompson are like clones: both have great hands, size and decent skating but one moment they look offensively gifted, the next like really good fourth liners.

I have powers beyond reason. Unfortunately, these powers do NOTHING for me personally.

So....ummmm..... Steen and Maroon... I mean, put them with O'Reilly already. Obviously THAT will....... Well..... It will get Maroon moving faster?

Seriously though, one night doesn't change how I feel about the PP overall. Its been a long stretch of dysfunction, and needs to be hummin if the Blues really want to make some noise.
